Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of conformance testing of a radio communication system during soft handover, and to a radio test equipment for carrying out the method. While the present specification describes the method with particular reference to the emerging Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), it is to be understood that such techniques are equally applicable to use in testing equipment for other mobile radio systems.
  • UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunication System
  • the first is user traffic, for example speech or packet data.
  • the second is control information, required to set and monitor various parameters of the transmission channel to enable the BS and MS to exchange the required user traffic.
  • Uplink power control of signals transmitted to a Base Station (BS) from a Mobile Station (MS), is particularly important. It ensures that the BS receives signals from different MSs at approximately the same power level, while minimising the transmission power required by each MS.
  • Downlink power control of signals transmitted by the BS to a MS, is required so that the MS receives signals from the BS with a low error rate while minimising transmission power, to reduce interference with other cells and radio systems.
  • power control is normally operated in a closed loop manner.
  • the BS determines the required changes in the power of transmissions from a MS and signals these changes to the MS by means of Transmit.
  • Power Control (TPC) commands typically instructs the MS to increase or decrease its power, with the change in power being a step of predetermined size.
  • a TPC command may also determine the step size to be used.
  • a MS generally communicates with a single BS. During the course of a call the MS may wish to investigate transferring to another BS, for example when the quality of the communication link deteriorates as the MS moves away from its BS, or when the relative traffic loading of different cells requires adjusting.
  • the process of transferring from one BS to another is known as handover.
  • the MS engages in communication with a plurality of BSs (known as the "active set" of BSs) to determine to which BS, if any, it should transfer.
  • the MS When the MS is engaged in this process, it will receive TPC commands from each of the BSs at substantially the same time. It must therefore have an algorithm for determining how to handle a plurality of TPC commands, which may be conflicting.
  • the MS assesses the reliability of the TPC command from each BS when deciding how to adjust its transmission power.
  • Methods for performing this assessment include measuring the Signal-to-interference Ratio (SIR) of the received TPC commands, measuring the SIR of other symbols within the same timeslot (for example pilot symbols), and measuring the actual received signal amplitude of the TPC bits before decoding, a function of which amplitudes may be known as Soft Symbol Information (SSI).
  • SIR Signal-to-interference Ratio
  • SSI Soft Symbol Information
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a method of conformance testing of radio communication equipment during soft handover which addresses the above problem.
  • a further object of the present invention is to enable the required behaviour of radio communication equipment during soft handover to be specified.
  • a method for conformance testing of a secondary station for use in a radio communication system comprising operating in a test equipment the steps of:
  • a radio test equipment for conformance testing of a secondary station for use in a radio communication system, the test equipment being adapted to carry out the test method according to a first aspect of the present invention.
  • Figure 1 is a block schematic diagram of a radio communication system
  • Figure 2 is a block schematic diagram of a radio communication system with a MS in the process of soft handover
  • FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a method of conformance testing of radio communication equipment during soft handover in accordance with the present invention.
  • the same reference numerals have been used to indicate corresponding features.
  • a radio communication system comprises a primary station (BS) 100 and a plurality of secondary stations (MS) 110.
  • the BS 100 comprises a microcontroller ( ⁇ C) 102, transceiver means (Tx/Rx) 104 connected to antenna means 106, power control means (PC) 107 for altering the transmitted power level, and connection means 108 for connection to the PSTN or other suitable network.
  • Each MS 110 comprises a microcontroller ( ⁇ C) 112, transceiver means (Tx/Rx) 114 connected to antenna means 116, and power control means (PC) 118 for altering the transmitted power level.
  • Communication from BS 100 to MS 110 takes place on a downlink frequency channel 122, while communication from MS 110 to BS 100 takes place on an uplink frequency channel 124.
  • a MS 110 engaged in a soft handover process is illustrated in Figure 2, the MS 110 having three two-way communication channels 226a, 226b, 226c with three respective BSs 100a, 100b, 100c.
  • the MS 110 receives substantially simultaneously three TPC commands, one from each of BSs 100a, 100b, 100c.
  • the MS 110 measures the SSI for each of the three TPC commands, and compares the magnitude of each SSI with a predetermined threshold. If the magnitude if the SSI is above the threshold the associated TPC command is deemed to be reliable, otherwise the TPC command is deemed to be unreliable.
  • One example of a method for combining the TPC commands in the given time slot is for the MS 110 to reduce its transmitted power if one of the TPC commands in the time slot is deemed reliable and is interpreted as "down", or if all of the TPC commands in the time slot are deemed unreliable and are interpreted as "down”. Otherwise the MS 110 will increase its transmission power.
  • a method of conformance testing of a MS 1 10 in accordance with the present invention uses n sequences of TPC commands, where n is the number of BSs 100 to be used for the soft handover conformance test.
  • Figure 3 is a flow chart illustrating the steps in such a test performed using three BSs 100.
  • the method begins with the generation, at steps 300a to 300c, of one sequence of TPC commands for each BS 100 to be used in the soft handover conformance test (three in this example).
  • the TPC sequences may be designed so that any particular set of three simultaneous TPC commands (e.g. 0, 1 , 0) will occur a significant number of times, N , during the course of the test.
  • N a suitable value of N could be about 20, in order to provide sufficient samples for a statistically meaningful result. It is not necessary for all possible combinations of TPC commands to be used in such a sequence.
  • a shorter TPC sequence including one or more possible combinations of TPC commands could be transmitted N times.
  • the TPC sequences may be pseudo-random.
  • each BS 100a, 100b, 100c simultaneously transmits its respective sequence of TPC commands, which transmissions pass through respective radio channels 304a, 304b, 304c which distort the transmitted signals and add noise.
  • the channels will have predetermined characteristics and the combined signals will be fed directly into the antenna input of the MS 110. If the channels do not include noise it should be added, preferably as Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). This ensures a representative spread of amplitudes for the received TPC commands and hence a representative spread of SSI or SIR values.
  • the level of noise added should be such that, in combination with the channel modeller used, the error rate of received TPC commands is for example no worse than 10%.
  • the sequences are received by the MS 110 which, after each triplet of TPC commands has been received together, processes them, at step 306, to determine what change in power level should be made. Changes in the transmission power output of the MS 110 are monitored, at step 308.
  • a first test is performed in which the pattern of power changes generated by the MS 110 is compared, at step 310 with the expected pattern of power changes. If the pattern is acceptable this aspect of the test is passed, step 312, if not it is failed, step 314.
  • the acceptability of the actual pattern of power control changes would be judged by determining, for each of the N identical sets of transmitted TPC commands (or for the complete sequence of sets), the proportion P of these sets for which the MS 110 responds in a particular way. If the value of P is greater than a predetermined value, then it appears that the MS 110 is correctly carrying out the SIR or SSI estimation, and the test is passed.
  • a suitable value for P may depend on the error rate of the received TPC commands and the number of BSs 100. For the example of a worst-case error rate of 10% and three BSs 100, a suitable value of P could be about 70%.
  • the acceptable value of P could be set at different levels for different sets or groups of sets of TPC commands.
  • the probability of a set of TPC commands being interpreted correctly may be a function of the particular commands within the set, which function may depend on the method used for combining the TPC commands from a set.
  • the proportion P of the sets containing TPC commands [1,1 ,1] which are interpreted correctly might take one value P ]
  • the proportion of the sets [1 ,1 ,0], [1 ,0,1] and [0,1 ,1] which are interpreted correctly might take another value P 2
  • the proportion of the sets [0,0,1], [0,1 ,0] and [1 ,0,0] which are interpreted correctly might take a third value R
  • a further test may be performed in addition to or instead of the first test.
  • this test determines, at step 316, the final output power of the MS 110. This power is tested, at step 318, to see if it is within a predetermined range relative to the output power at the start of the test. If it is then this aspect of the test is passed, step 320, if not it is failed, step 322.
  • an acceptable range of powers may be determined, consider the case where n u sets of TPC commands are transmitted, each of which sets should be interpreted as "up" after the MS 110 has performed its combination process. For example, with a worst-case error rate of received TPC commands from each BS 100a, 100b, 100c of 5%, at least 85% of the sets of commands should be interpreted correctly by the MS 110. Hence, the expected power change from these sets of TPC commands is (0.85 ⁇ 0.15) « Struktur ( ⁇ 7? ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ A ) , where A m . is the power control step size used by the MS 110 and ⁇ & is the tolerance in the power control step size (assessed by a separate test).
  • the expected power change is - (0.85 ⁇ 0.15)n (l ⁇ A m . ⁇ ⁇ & ) .
  • the total expected power change by the end of the test is
  • a plurality of BSs 100 were used generate and transmit signals to the MS 110.
  • signals could equally well be generated by a Radio Frequency (RF) signal generator forming part of the test system.
  • RF Radio Frequency
  • the present invention has been described in relation to the testing of a MS suitable for use in a UMTS embodiment. However, it is generally applicable to any system employing closed loop power control where commands are received from multiple base stations simultaneously and the resulting action may be dependent on properties of the commands which are untestable because they are determined internally by the equipment under test. From reading the present disclosure, other modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art. Such modifications may involve other features which are already known in methods of conformance testing of radio communication equipment, and which may be used instead of or in addition to features already described herein.
